Order No: 55007 Vivaldi: L’Estro Armonico no 11 op.3 Purcell: Chaconne for strings in G minor Bach: Concerto  for violin, oboe and string orchestra no 9 in D minor BWV 1060 Williams: Concerto Accademico for violin and strings in D minor   Orchestra: Versailles Soloists Conductor: Bernard Le Monnier Soloists: Beata Halska, Anne-Marie Rochard, Jean-Philippe Thiebaut   Created in 1986 by conductor Bernard Le Monnier, the Versailles Soloists performs both as a chamber orchestra with 17 instruments and as a full orchestral ensemble with 30 to 40 instruments, which gives it wide latitude in terms of repertoire, running from the baroque period to contemporary works. All of the musicians have won honours from the National Conservatory of Paris or from national conservatories in France's provinces. The ensemble has performed in the most prestigious concert halls in Europe and has won an enthusiastic following, thanks to its dynamism, unity of tone and the quality of its musical resonance. Born in Poland, Beata Halska, has chosen France as her adoptive homeland. She has achieved a considerable international reputation. In addition to the greatest violin concerts, she intensively dedicates herself to chamber music as well as to rarely executed works and world premieres. As laureate of numerous prizes obtained at numerous competitions, she  is one of the artists supported by the Menuhin and Philip-Morris Foundations.
